﻿Yesterday evening I saw the Cecilia Ensemble perform at the Lutheran Cathedral in Kitay Gorod. The church, the accoustics, and the repertoire were stunning. They included English, Russian, colonial American, modern American, and spiritual music in their program.

A big round of applause are deserved for David Cochrane, friend and fellow '14 graduate of Dickinson, who organized the ensemble's trip from America. He introduced the group in flawless Russian yesterday, surprising everyone in the audience who doesn't know him. He probably surprised plenty of Russians with his TV interview this week as well. Seriously- job well done to David. He is doing big things.
